I’m not fully out to production at scale, but I’ve been running my app effectively in production mode for over a year. Can’t see using anything else, honestly. There are others with high volume production apps here as well.
There are quite a few apps using Convex at scale at this point. Let us know if there is something you need help with evaluating.
I wanted to understand if I could affect the db sync, when 2 peers affect the same data. Can I influence or define the behaviour?
Convex just keeps everything up to date for all clients. Can you give an example outcome you're trying to achieve?
For example i need to sync only changes and not full dataset
Any queries running in the client will update if the data the query depends on updates. So it doesn't just update everything when anything changes, it is based on data dependencies.
Definitely recommend checking out the tutorial if you haven't already. Gives a good sense of how Convex works. https://docs.convex.dev/tutorial/

Convex provides you with a fully featured backend with cloud functions,
The biggest dillema to try it out, is because I not aware of all possible limitations, that I should investigate. My startup doesn't has enough budget to hire some software architect that will point out what can go wrong and if its worth it, and I see firebase and supabase tried somthing similar but seems to be used for different purpose.
The tutorial will take about 10-20 minutes. It should make a lot of concepts clear here and how it may differ from firebase or supabase, if you are already familiar with them.
